About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

Duke Dashington by Jussi Simpanen is the extended commercial version of a Ludum Dare 27 game covered before. In it, players have to help Sir Duke collect the treasure from each of the four ancient temples. You control Duke by sliding your finger across the screen to make him dash, and he only has ten seconds to escape from each room before the entire ceiling collapses on him.

The game is really addictive even if you end up failing many times in your attempt to dash through a difficult room. The only drawback is that each level takes no more than 10 seconds to beat, so if you are good at the game then all four temple locations can be finished in twenty minutes or less.

Duke Dashington is available to purchase now from App Store at only $0.99 during its launch week (usual price $1.99).
